Risk Regulation And The Faces Of Uncertainty, Vern R. Walker
Risk Regulation And The Faces Of Uncertainty, Vern R. Walker
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Walker addresses the difficulty of regulators' working with potentially inaccurate information and clarifies related aspects of decision making by presenting a taxonomy for the kinds of uncertainty inherent in necessarily incomplete data.
Monte Carlo Simulation In Environmental Risk Assessment--Science, Policy And Legal Issues, Susan R. Poulter
Monte Carlo Simulation In Environmental Risk Assessment--Science, Policy And Legal Issues, Susan R. Poulter
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Poulter notes that agencies should anticipate judicial requirements for justification of Monte Carlo simulations and, meanwhile, should consider, e.g., whether their use will make risk assessment policy choices more opaque or apparent.
A Method Of Identifying Hazardous Highway Locations Using The Principle Of Individual Lifetime Risk, Paul J. Ossenbruggen
A Method Of Identifying Hazardous Highway Locations Using The Principle Of Individual Lifetime Risk, Paul J. Ossenbruggen
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Ossenbruggen presents a scientific framework for identifying hazardous highway locations that may be more easily understood by non-scientists and has potential for comparing highway with other risks to health.
